The consecutive sentences are those that show a cause and an effect, ie, communicating the result of an action, quality, event or circumstance. In this article we will show you up to 70 examples so that you can better understand the concept.
There are several types of consecutive sentences, among which the intensive, non-intensive and juxtaposed ones stand out. Intensive consecutive sentences are the most commonly used and stand out for making use of the “what” connector between the two parts of the sentence.
The non-intensive ones, meanwhile, are in charge of transmitting the consequence of an event, using different types of connections and imperative verbs. In the case of sentences of the juxtaposed type, connectors are used that denote deduction.
This type of sentence is structured in such a way that there is a nexus or link between the first and the second part of the sentence.
In this sense, it is essential to use connecting terms such as “therefore”, “consequently”, “for this reason”, among others. Usually, a comma (,) is used before the connector or nexus.
